Swing Tip: Don’t Be Afraid To Favor Your Dominant Swing Motion

Here is an excellent golf tip that you probably have not heard before: Play the ball with your dominant swing motion.

What Exactly Does This Mean?

Well let’s say, for example, and as most golfers do, you have a tendency to hit some type of fade or slice, sending the ball curving from left to right. You come to the tenth tee and the hole is designed with a dogleg toward the left with the out-of-bounds to the right.

Your immediate thought would be to hit a draw, which would ideally send the ball curving to the left and along the fairway. So you set up and then hit the fade as you typically do. The ball is now out of bounds.

Now had you played the ball with your “dominant swing motion”, and went with it, you probably would have hit the ball successfully onto the green and set up the next shot as a straighter pathway to the hole.

Sure it might not have gone the distance and wrapped around the dogleg as you had hoped, but it is always better than hitting out of bounds.
